Organic hinges : The “flexure hinges” in V ‐Landers ( V L) molecules (C 108 H 104 ) play an essential role in the adaptability of the molecule to the substrate (see figure). The molecules cannot simply be considered as rigid objects and it is mandatory to take into account their internal molecular degrees of freedom in order to understand the observed structures.
